According to [ Wikipedia] (retrieved MArch 8 2016), literacy was “traditionally understood as the ability to read and write.[1] The term's meaning has been expanded to include the ability to use language, numbers, images and other means to understand and use the dominant symbol systems of a culture. The concept of literacy is expanding in OECD countries to include skills to access knowledge through technology and ability to assess complex contexts.”
